Microbolometer Calibration

Calibration enables the microbolometer temperature background to be equalized and defects in the image (such as vertical lines, phantom images etc.) to be eliminated.

During calibration, the image on the display freezes briefly for up to 1 second.

There are three calibration modes: manual (M), semi-automatic (SA) and automatic (A).

Select the required mode in the Calibration Mode section of the menu.

M mode (manual)

• Secure the lens cover (1) and briefly press the ON/OFF (6) button.
• After completing the calibration process, remove the lens cap.

SA mode (semi-automatic)

• Calibration is engaged by a brief press of the ON/OFF (6) button.
• The lens cap does not need to be secured (the microbolometer is closed by an internal shutter).

A mode (automatic)

• The device is calibrated autonomously, in accordance with the firmware algorithm.
• The lens cap does not need to be secured (the microbolometer is closed by an internal shutter).
• In this mode, the device may be calibrated by the user using the ON/OFF (6) button.
• In Automatic calibration mode a countdown timer will appear instead of the calibration mode icon 3 seconds before automatic calibration begins.
